Be A Man. Do The Wight Fink.

This is the biggest dose of racist jokes ever to be told by an Indian. And he’s absolutely funny. I am still in stitches (my stomach is anyways!) since watching Russell Peters, again, yesterday.

Enjoy peeps!

Cambodia, here we come!

Will be taking a week’s hiatus from the hustle and bustle, and sadly, blogging. I’m off to Siem Reap, Phnom Penh and also Vietnam from tomorrow and for the next 7 days.

I promise to take lots of pics (as much as my 20th Century 32MB Sony memory stick can carry) and I’ll be sure to tell you all about it when I get back. If I don’t step on a landmine and join Cobain in heaven, that is.

I am leaving you civilised people. Don’t forget me.

Cheerios!

Not Hot. Eric Deli Paradise, Plaza Damas.

For some strange reason, we all decided to go to Eric Deli Paradise for lunch. Owned by popular comedian and everybody’s favourite actor – Eric Tsang of Hong Kong, Eric Deli Paradise seemed a spacy, modern Chinese restaurant.

This is not a restaurant review. Nor will it be a food review. Despite the initial impression of the interior – spartan but adequate, and spacious, the 16 of us came out disappointed and even though I did not pay for the meal, felt we were ripped off in some way.

The food was so-so, really nothing to shout about. I would have gladly walked 400m in the opposite direction and plonked my flabby butt at Kim Gary’s and be happy. The servings were so minute, you’d need a magnifying glass to be able to make out what was on the plate.
.
I am not posting any pics of the food either, coz it’s not really worth showing. The only saving grace was the rice. Seriously. Chewy, al dente. Full.

Otherwise, a BITTER disappointment. A big zero.

Eric, one word of advice – stick to acting.

Arrgh.

12-inch MacBook Pro on the way?

An Intel-based 12-inch MacBook Pro may be on the way according to popular rumour site macosXrumors.

It is expected to be even thinner than the current Apple offerings, and is slated to appear sometime second quarter of this year.

In the meantime, we should see the 13-inch entry-level MacBook (replacing the iBook) soon. Can’t wait!

In the meantime, anyone interested in a less-than-a-year old 1.33Ghz PowerBook G4, with 12″ display, 1.25GB RAM, 80GB harddrive, 64MB VRAM, Airport + Bluetooth built-in, combo drive, Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.5, please contact me. Bundling together with Radtech keyboard protector and sleeve worth RM200. Still under warranty. Going for RM4.75K negotiable. Add RM300 for an exclusive Crumpler bag. Or take the whole lot for RM5K.

Brokeback Tom and Mountain Jerry

Oh gawd. If there was one thing that could make you cry today, it’s got to be this. Brokeback Tom and Mountain Jerry. Thanks Swifty. You made my day.

The Eleventh Hour. The Cock Dicks. I mean, the clock ticks.

Burned lots of midnight and early morning oil last night. Or should I say this morning? Never mind. Left the office at 7.30am. Halfway through printing, I caught 39 winks. But as the sun came up, my colleague and I decided to leave.

Barely falling asleep, I had to get up and go again.

Been printing, mocking up and tidying up ever since. I’m only blogging right this instant to catch a breather.

Doesn’t help when bosses suddenly decide to review work (which have been printed and mounted) and a sudden appearance of a ‘corporate guidelines’ book. Why this was not brought up earlier beats the hell out of me. Long and the short of it is – I have to make changes to just about 20 ads, reprint and remount them on boards.

Isn’t life lovely?

Angry? Who, me? Nah. I’m cool with it. Happens ALL THE TIME. All the fucking time.

Excuse me while I go lacerate my arm.

Voilà! A Vis-à-vis Introduction to a Vendetta!

“Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.”

Watch V for Vendetta! Watch it, watch it, watch it!

Looooonnnngggg night

It’s gonna be a looooonnnng night I tell you. Over 20 ads to print. And 4 menus to print and mock-up. Arrgh. I am going to die.

See you in hell, peeps.

Give me a gun

You know what?

People who don’t wash their hands after they pee. Eck. Disgusting.

People who can’t pee straight. And worse, don’t clean up the mess after.

Whatever happened to personal hygiene for godsakes. Better still, common sense?

Sorry, just ranting. Little things are pissing me off today because creatively I’m impaired. And I’m suppressed by a completely unimaginative, uncreative individual who is paid to write. His writing sucks. Uninspiring.

Really puts shit in your brain, if you know what I mean. I need to leave this place. It impedes the betterment of human kind. Impairs growth. It kills. It kills me. And you.

Give me a gun. Oh, whatever.

Arrgh.
